Questions & Answers about باید تمرین کنی تا بسیاری از قاعدهها آسان شوند.
Why does besyâr have an -i at the end in besyâri az?
The word besyâr on its own means "much" or "very". To say "many of" a specific group, Farsi adds the suffix -i to make besyâri, followed by az (of or from). This creates the quantitative phrase besyâri az qâ'ede-hâ (many of the rules).
Since qâ'ede-hâ (rules) are inanimate objects, shouldn't the verb at the end be singular instead of the plural shavand?
In Farsi, plural inanimate objects do usually take a singular verb. However, when using quantity phrases like besyâri az (many of) or ba'zi az (some of), it is very common to use a plural verb like shavand to emphasize the multiple distinct items in that group. Using the singular shavad would also be grammatically correct here.
Does tâ mean "until" or "so that" in this sentence, and why does it take the subjunctive shavand?
It translates well as either! The word tâ can mean both "until" and "so that" depending on context, and here the two ideas blur together. Because the rules becoming easy is a desired future outcome that has not happened yet, tâ requires the verb to be in the subjunctive mood (shavand).
A quick reminder: why is it tamrin koni rather than the normal present tense tamrin mikoni?
The word bâyad (must) expresses obligation, which is one of the main triggers for the subjunctive mood in Farsi. Because of bâyad, the simple present tamrin mikoni drops the mi- prefix to become the subjunctive tamrin koni.
